Audit: broken code

Entry: LEDGER.md exists, broken.md missing. Exit: broken.md written, LEDGER rows added, proofs in proof/.

Broken means: an instrument's output moved from docs/AUDIT_BASELINES.md §Instruments. The instruments define broken; this worker adds no judgment of its own (G3).

Operations

1. pip install -e . --break-system-packages -q and pip install pytest pytest-xdist jsonschema --break-system-packages -q. Run every command below with python -m where applicable; save each full output to proof/broken-<n>.txt.
2. python -m pytest tests/ -q -n 4 — compare failures to the baseline failure list. Re-run any non-baseline failure serially (python -m pytest <nodeid> -q) before rowing it: still red → verdict broken; green serially → verdict flaky (row it; flaky is a finding unless baseline-listed).
3. python tools/docs_verify.py — compare failing checks to the baseline list. Non-baseline failure → verdict broken (the check or the code it pins moved; the fix tranche decides which).
4. python scripts/wheel_smoke.py then python -u scripts/wheel_operational_smoke.py — any non-zero exit → verdict broken, target = the pin named in the output.
5. RETIRED (operator ruling 2026-08-22, CLAUDE.md §Build and test): the root sweep is no longer an audit instrument. Do NOT run tools/root_sweep.py. Write proof/broken-sweep.txt containing the single line retired 2026-08-22 — see CLAUDE.md so the proof count stays auditable.
6. Write broken.md: the table of every non-baseline delta, one row per finding, columns as the LEDGER. Matches baseline exactly → the table plus one line: all instruments at baseline, with the five proof files as the required proof of looking (G2).

GATE

Pass: every instrument ran (four live instruments + the retirement marker file = five proof files) AND every non-baseline delta has a LEDGER row with disposition parked. Verdict labels: broken | flaky | baseline.

Activation plant (first run)

Edit one assert in a copy of a passing test to a false constant, run step 2 scoped to that file, paste the red output, git checkout -- the file, paste the clean status.

Outlets

Situation	Outlet
Any fix impulse	PARK — prompt in PARKED.md, route deepreason-orchestrator
Instrument itself crashes	row verdict broken, target = instrument, PARK
Baseline looks wrong	row it, PARK a baseline-correction prompt (PRECEDENCE 2)
